Stacy Lewis & Inbee Park have the game to win this week, but will they? I don’t think so. Look for 4th ranked Lexi Thompson to charge for the top of the board.

You can’t go wrong with any of the fantasy picks in the top group. They’re all proven champions and any of them should be a safe lead for your Ladies Dream Golf Pick-4 or other fantasy team.

However, because this group typically makes the cut and plays the weekend, the trick is going to lie in picking the winner. Defending champion Sei Young Kim is a safe pick but I think she’s an unlikely pick.  Look for Lexi Thompson to edge out the field with that big game of hers.

Last year Brittany Lincicome, Inbee Park, and Lexi Thompson finished inside the top-10 and Stacy Lewis finished at T11.  Anna Nordqvist, Ha Na Jang and Minjee Lee all finished a bit further down the board but in the money. They all know the Ocean Club track and they all have a winning game in their bag.

Given the playing conditions – a relatively long course (6625 yards) with sometimes extreme cross-winds – it’s not surprising to see the experienced power hitters coming out on top.

Cristie Kerr uncharacteristically missed the cut in 2015 – it happens, even to the best of us – and Brooke Henderson is the new kid on the block so far as the top performers are concerned.

Would it be heretical to suggest that the winner of the Pure Silk-Bahamas is likely to come from outside the top tier of players?
